Satele's arm length is less than 31", either 30 1/2 or 30 3/4 inches.

Oher, besides only getting 21 reps does not have great arm length for his body build. The guy needs some major weight room work. I still consider him a top 20 prospect and believe he will get a lot stronger after a year or two in the NFL.
Ok, maybe if it is a guy like Loadholt, ya cut him a little slack. 36 1/2" is excellent arm length. I'd be curious to know how many reps big Phil gets. Long arms didn't hinder Jake last year though. His arms are in the 36" range and he still got 37 reps, and as I recall his grip spacing wasn't wide either which makes it even more impressive.
